To ensure safety of the children from ComLink families, all KidsCount volunteers will be required to also sign up as a volunteer with MSF and clear a security screening process for suitability to be a child befriender. Do note that screening takes up to 1 month, and we will not be able to accept volunteers who are unable to clear the security process. Feel free to approach us if you may have any concerns.
This opportunity is in partnership with Suncare SG and Care Corner Singapore.
